Yellow Fever is a serious and potentially fatal viral disease that is spread by mosquitoes in tropical parts of Africa and South America. It occurs in both jungle and urban environments and is particularly common in the rainy season.
Typhoid fever is a highly contagious and potentially lethal disease, which spreads via contaminated foods and water. As typhoid bacteria are primarily found in faeces, the infection is particularly common in regions with poor sanitation.
Travellers’ diarrhoea is a condition which commonly affects travellers to certain high risk countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, and is usually transmitted via contaminated foods and water.
Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral infection endemic to many European countries. If you are planning to stay in an area with a high occurrence of infected ticks, a TBE vaccination is the safest way of avoiding the infection. It is particularly relevant if you are planning to spend a lot of time outdoors.
Rabies is a dangerous viral infection endemic to many countries. The rabies vaccine is used to prevent an infection prior to travelling to a high risk area.
Due to availability of the different brands of the rabies vaccine, the brand of vaccine offered to you may vary by clinic, which will affect the price. We will endeavour to offer you the choice of either vaccine available, however due to supplier shortages this may not always be possible. Your pharmacist will advise of the price as part of your consultation.

Measles, mumps, and rubella are highly infectious conditions that can have serious or potentially fatal outcomes, such as deafness, meningitis or swelling of the brain (encephalitis). Outbreaks don’t happen very often in the UK but it is still important to keep your vaccine status up to date.
Offers protection against meningococcal group B bacteria, which are a common cause of meningitis in young children in the UK. The vaccine is recommended for babies aged 8 weeks, followed by a second dose at 16 weeks and a booster at 1 year.
Meningitis is passed from person to person who are in close contact via nasal or throat droplets, for example by coughing, sneezing or kissing. The meningitis ACWY vaccination protects you against infection from the A, C, W and Y types of bacteria.
Japanese encephalitis is a viral disease which is transmitted by mosquitoes. The virus is found in pigs and birds, however if is spread to humans through mosquito bites. It can’t be passed from one person to another. Most people will have mild or no symptoms however the virus can cause severe symptoms and lead to serious long term complications.
The combined vaccination protects against both Hepatitis A and B.
Hepatitis B is a type of hepatitis, a viral infection which can cause damage to the liver. Unlike hepatitis A, the hepatitis B virus is not usually transmitted via contaminated water but rather via bodily fluids such as blood or via contaminated needles.
Hepatitis A is a viral infection which affects the human liver. The hepatitis A virus is usually ingested via contaminated food or water and is endemic to many countries where sanitation and access to safe food and water is poor.
If you are travelling to a risk area for polio or diphtheria, you may need the polio, diphtheria and tetanus vaccine. Whether you require this booster depends on the date of your last vaccination.
Our Clinics cannot administer post-exposure does of tetanus vaccine, if you are concerned that your may have a contaminated wound please clean the wound with soap and warm water and contact NHS 111 for advice, or go to A&E if the wound is more serious or the bleeding cannot be stopped.

Getting bitten by a mosquito while on holiday can be frustrating, but in some cases, it poses a significant health risk. The danger increases if you are bitten by the Aedes mosquito, which transmits Dengue fever. While Dengue fever may initially resemble a flu-like illness, it can escalate into a severe and potentially life-threatening condition. Since there is no cure for Dengue fever, prevention is the best approach.
The cholera vaccination is given orally and usually involves two doses, which need to be taken a minimum of 7 days apart. In order to be protected abroad, you need to finish the course at least one week before travelling.
Consultation with the Pharmacist to discuss you travel vaccination needs.
The chickenpox vaccine is suitable for patients from 9 months of age up to the age of 65. It is only recommended if you have not had chickenpox.

Whooping cough is a bacterial infection of the respiratory tract that causes coughing, that in infants can come with a characteristic “whoop” as they breath in, a well as fever, sore throat and increased production of mucus. This vaccine is only for pregnant women who want to protect their children against whooping cough in the first few months before the child can get vaccinated themselves.
Shingles is an infection that causes a painful rash. It’s caused by the reactivation of varicella-zoster, the same virus that causes chickenpox. If you’ve had chickenpox in the past, this virus stays inside your body and can be reactivated, typically during times of stress or when the immune system is weakened. This service helps to protect against getting shingles. It’s suitable for adults aged 50 and over.
The HPV vaccine protects against several strains of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which can cause cervical cancer in women, anal and penile cancer in men, and genital warts in both sexes.

HbA1C test will tell you if you may have diabetes
The haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) attached to your haemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. It is an important blood test that gives a good indication of how well your diabetes is being controlled.

Kidney Function Test
Check for signs that the kidneys are working as they should be.
The kidneys are vital in ridding the body of toxins, and if they aren’t functioning properly then waste can build up in the blood. This tests for waste products and signs that your kidneys are healthy.
What Does The Test Include?
Biomarkers:
Urea
Creatinine
eGFR
When To Get Tested
Some conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure (hypertension), affect how well the kidneys work..
You may also need a kidney function test if you have symptoms that indicate possible kidney problems. These symptoms might include:
Blood in your urine (haematuria).
Painful urination (dysuria).
Frequent urge to urinate.
Problems with starting to pee.
What Do The Results Mean?
The higher the blood levels of urea and creatinine, the less well the kidneys are working. The level of creatinine is usually used as a marker as to the severity of kidney failure. Creatinine in itself is not harmful but a high level indicates that the kidneys are not working properly.
Do I Need To Do Anything Before My Test?
Avoid high protein meals before taking this test as it may increase serum creatinine and urea levels. Also, hydration status can have a considerable impact on urea measurement.
